We've seen the Ultra, now here's the Mino - a slimmer version of Flip's pocket camcorder.
Expert review by : Stuff.tv (stuff.tv)
With the world going hi-def, it seems a strange time for dirt-cheap, USB camcorders to become hot property. But this netbook moment in shooting video is all thanks to two things: YouTube, and the Flip Video. Of course, being the original web camcorder...

A minor improvement over the Flip Video Ultra, but an improvement nonetheless, the Flip Mino is a fun camcorder, until you realise you want your home videos to look the bomb.

The Flip Mino camcorder features a 1.5-inch TFT display and, thanks to a 1/4 inch VGA CMOS sensor, captures video at a 640 x 480 resolution at 30fps. It also boasts a 2x digital zoom, powers up in four seconds and has a battery life of four hours. It...
There’s no easier or quicker way to get your real world antics online than the Flip, and the £20 price hike over the earlier model is justified by the rechargeable battery alone. If you’re anything but a YouTube junky, though, you might find a...

When it comes to YouTube-friendly pocket camcorders, the Mino is king, but for a price.
Good video quality, Sleek, pocketable, easy to use

Last year, I came across the Flip Mino, a tiny camera with a great sense of style. Read my review!
Expert review by : John Chow (thetechzone.com)
Pure Digital's newest addition to the Flip family of digital camcorders is the Flip Mino . The Mino is 40% smaller than the old Flip Ultra and looks a lot better as well. Available in black or white, the Mino easily fits into any shirt pocket and is...
